Motorola RIZR Z8

So far as battery is concern now it depends on the non- genuineness of the battery and if the battery is genuine

There will be no problem. If the battery is genuine the talk time can go 7 hour or more.

Normally the sales men or shop keeper replace the original genuine battery with non - genuine battery with the sets and sell the original battery on a heavy price.

So far as the software update is also available if you have the original genuine CD of Motorola software provided at the time of purchase.

It is ever not beta, it is pre-alpha. Keep miles away, never buy from Mororola again.

Pathethic battery - 1 day, complicated and non-customisable menu, errors in software, awkward not changeable menu, icons and their positions, trouble with UIQ applications, constant buzz even when not used, opening and executing folders takes ages, and much much more.

The Motorola RIZR Z8 phone drives me mad - it's SO un-user friendly and unstable!!! For instance when you create a calendar entry, instead of displaying "OK" or "Save" it lists only "Cancel" which then gives you the Question 'Do you wish to save?'; followed by the option of "No" "Ok" and "Yes". What are the difference of OK and Yes....you tell me!!! It gets so hot its untrue. It crashes lots. Its menus are more confusing and disastrous than our London mayor!!If you are used to Motorola phones then try a Nokia or SonyEricsson 100x times better phones; If you are used to Nokia or Sony Ericsson - dont get this phone it will cause you endless frustration!Conclusion:Dont buy itNote to people who designed it - Plan for testing your phones next time!!! And also please look at what other phones and MP3 players do...its called 'testing the market'

Software is rubbish! I have seen better uni projects than whats been put on this phone. Motorola should be ashamed -for instance when creating an entry in the calendar you have to select 'Cancel' in order to save it! Phone search does not pick up both names - i.e. you have to search for surname not first.

If you are not used to Motorola phones stay WELL away! Phone switches off if you close it too hard. Battery goes from 2 bars (66%) to nothing in a second! Then you restart the phone and it says its full! Then 2 seconds later its run out of charge! Buttons are terrible!

I like the Motorola RIZR Z8 phone and if I knew that it was this good I would have bought it earlier. Battery life is not as good as it could be but still an awesome phone, stylish and it is quite easy to use.

Good features, stylish design, nice little touches but let down by the poor battery life. The RIZR Z8 is a good phone, but Motorola, release a better battery please?

I had so waited for the Motorola RIZR Z8, but after a week it's back in the box, the screen is amazing, the features for the calender are very good, but to text in my view is a nightmare, so slow, and battery life is very very poor.

This phone looks looks wonderful but it may as well be a dummy phone, you can just about make a call, you cant even download the software on Windows Vista, and guess what, Motorola have not even got an update on their website, on its way back for a full refund, consider again in 6 months.

All I can say is that it's really good. I should buy a million of these.
